several hours early this morning as investigators collected evidence out here. berkeley police were first called out about 11:30 last night. they got 911 calls about a bicyclist who was down on the sidewalk. what many callers thought was a crash of some find. except when officers arrived, they quickly realized the woman was shot. she was row nounsed dead at the scene -- pronounced dead at the scene. they can't say if she was targeted or the victim of a random rhyme. >> at this point, we can't -- crime. >> at this point, we can't. we're looking at every angle. there's some concern, if there's a robbery and other motives. all different factors come into play to what led up to the shooting that occurred. >> reporter: police have not released a description involved in berkeley's fourth homicide of the year so far. the spokesperson i spoke with said investigators will certainly need witnesses in this area to come forward to help them make an arrest in

prevent any flooding out there. on a side note on top of the flooding on our way over here, we're on the -- we're on the 80, i should say, there are at least three accidents on their way over here. i think that's the bigger story this morning. the roads are obviously very wet. a lot of pockets of flooding. if you are heading out there, give yourself plenty of time to get to work. it will be quite a mess there this morning. we're live near larkspur, brian flores. and now we continue ure team coverage this morning with tara in our traffic center who is monitoring some flooding on 580. that's right. >> we do want too talk about -- to talk about flights being delayed. to see if your flight is affected, call ahead or check the internet. we do have some flooding on

little bit. but still, from san jose, blossom hill, cupertino and south los gatos, to morgan hill. monterey highway, san martin and also gilroy. this will be the last in the series. so four pretty good systems, i'll say. we could use some drying out and we'll get that after the system today. so cloudy, rain, some of it is just kind of a fine mist or a steady rain. decreasing cloudy, fog and the heavier rain pushing south toward the mountains and we're about down. not cold by any step of the imagination. steve bridges in -- stretch of the imagination, steve bridges up in tahoe. it will be unbelievely thick fog in the north and east bay. everything looks good for the weekend, clearing out, breezy, cooler, at least sunny. >> all right, steve. that's our story for tomorrow. three east bay firefighters badly hurt on sunday in a crash
